Asset Cost & Lifecycle Manager

Overview

​

Collaborit’s Asset Cost and Lifecycle Manager provides a comprehensive solution for accurate budget, actual, commitment, and forecast figures throughout the full life cycle of your assets, leveraging SAP EAM planning and execution data. This end-to-end tool enables precise budgeting and reporting on maintenance costs, integrating seamlessly with SAP Maintenance Plans and Maintenance Orders to track actual and committed costs.

​

You can map actual, committed, and forecast figures to the original budget at a granular level for individual equipment and maintenance activities. Key variables such as labor, materials, contract costs, and maintenance frequencies contribute to the generation of Life Cycle Cost (LCC) and Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) models.

​

By facilitating informed decisions on fund allocation based on proactive maintenance activities, the Asset Cost and Lifecycle Manager significantly reduces the effort needed for scenario simulations, budgeting, and forecasting.
